Sonic hummed, he was on his usual city walk after beating up eggman, so bad to whereas he'll have to chill on the radius for now from embarrassment. He chuckled to himself, taking a chomp of his apple. Apples. He doesn't know when, hes suddenly gained a liking to them. But not as much as silver loves his apples, he knew if he were here right now, hed ask,
"Hey, sonic. You gonna finish that?"
Sonic blinked. Silver asked him the golden question. They were in a cafe, hanging out.
"Mmh, you always take my apples sliv! What if I was starving, on the brink of death and this was the last food itemm?~" He took a bite of it, chewing while being hopelessly dramatic. Silver winced as he talked with his mouth full. "I'd still take it. Just for that." He pointed, and sonic gasped. "How could-! "
But before sonic could continue his Yap, their server came with their food. Silvers egg sandwich, tater tots, and apple juice. Sonic's apple fritter, plain hotdog and lemonade.
"Enjoy."
Sonic smiled and waved her off, Silver thanking. "Heh, a good thing I always keep this tucked in, just in case." He pulled out a can of chilli and popped the lid, pouring it on his hotdog. Silver wouldve said something about his disgusting act, but he took his eye onto Sonic's clean untouched dish. "Haah! I didn't know they had apple food items-!"
"Hm?" Sonic took a bite of his delicacy, almosting drowning in the chilli goodness. No cheese, but it still worked. "Owh, mmf, ywah. I saw it last schecond."
"Stop talking with your mouth full."
"But waht if I don wanna-" Silver flicked his finger, and closed Sonic's mouth with his telekinesis. "Mm- mmf!!" Sonic struggled for a bit, but gave up quick and looked at silver in an annoyed expression, silver couldn't help but look extremely smug back, while taking a bite of his egg sandwich, chewing before he wanted to talk trash.
He let go, and sonic chewed. "Hm? Don't like it when something doesn't go your way?" Silver asked.
"And here I was gonna be nice and share my fritter with you, but noooo." Sonic closed his eyes and took his dessert. "Wait you were gonna wha."
"Mhm." Sonic dug in and took a bite, making a purposefully long satisfying sound.
"MMMM! It tastes SOOO goood!!" He slightly opened an eye, awaiting silvers reaction.
"S-sonic! Come on! Be nice!" He leaned fowards a bit, putting all his attention onto sonic.
"Nnope."
"Sonic! Thats not fair!"
"Shoulda thought about that before enforcing manners onto me." He took another bite.
"Stopp! Please! My future will be destroyed if you keep this up..!" He clasped his hands together and set his head down on the table. Sonic chuckled, breaking.
"Oh no! I can't let that happen! Okay okay! Get up."
"Woo." He immediately, sat up, tail wagging a bit in his chair. Sonic could hear the faint noise back and forth on the leather chair, jeez. Silver REALLY, liked apples. "But it's stayin over here."
"What?"
"Yeah, the whole thing."
"Well then how am I supposed to-"
"I'll feed it to ya!"
"Wh..what?!"
Sonic dug his fork inside the fritter, getting a good piece, and brung the fork to silvers mouth. "Say aahhh." The blue hedgehog noticed silver looking a less paler than usual, some faint red on his face perhaps? Eh, maybe from the heat.
Silvers eyelids lowered and his mouth didn't open. Replicating the dumbfounded look sonic had earlier. He then took the fork with his powers, out of Sonic's hands and inserted into his mouth himself. "Hey!"
"Thank you."
"Your not getting anymore." Sonic turned to his side and covered his plate. Silver rolled his eyes and kept Sonic's fork in his mouth. Sonic took the rest of the fritter, and ate it down. Getting his gloves messier. "Just gross." Silver chuckled, smiling. "Well someone didn't give me my fork back." He took a sip to his lemonade. "You didn't even ask! And it's been FIVE seconds!"
"Eh." Sonic shrugged and picked his unfinished chilli dog up, taking it to his mouth while looking outside. "Still bright out. Wanna race after this?"
"No, I'm not accepting your invitation to throwing up immediately. We just ate sonic."
"Oh yeah. Wanna go and hang outside?"
"Uhh." Silver looked out, the sun still blazed. "I think I'll pass.. Id rather stay in here, the weather got worse since I got here, yknow I don't like hot weather."
Just the sun in general.
"Man, I love it. It's great, feeling the sun graze across you as you run through field and field. I'm sure you could do the same with your flying ma-jig stuff."
Silver wishes he could do the same thing a normal mobian could, but he just cant. Not ever.
"Hm. I definitely could. I'll just wait until it gets cloudy again." Just then, Sonic's watch beeped. "Sonic, we need your help, eggman is back!" A voice he recognized that belonged to a two tailed orange fox rang from it.
"Ah jeez, he just doesn't know when to quit. Sorry slivs, gotta run. Catch you later tonight!" Sonic winked. Silver nodded. "I understand."
"See ya!"
As he bolted out of the cafe, leaving the door swinging Sonic's last words lingered in his head.
'Catch you later tonight. Wait. TONIGHT???' He blinked, slightly panicking. He just got back! Sonic couldn't see him tonight! He could turn, or find him.. Like.. His secret could be exposed! He didn't know how else to contact the blue blur, as his watch broke while he was in the future, and was getting fixed by tails. He sighed. He just had to hope, that he wouldn't show up, forget or just doesn't find him. Silver took notice to Sonic's unfinished apple, he floated it towards him and bit down. "Hm."
He smiled. Apples were always a delicacy to him. The juicy and delicious taste of the apple, and sonic, pleasured him in all the right ways. He bit down again with his abnormally sharp teeth, licking where sonic bit, the sweet, sweet taste.. The aroma that protruded in every bite. He darn near sucked the flavor out of it to the core. He threw the dry stick into the trash, licking his lips.
He didn't realize that he was being watched. A girl kid mobian, her lollipop on the floor, her starting dead wide eyed at silver, jaw open. He blinked at her before looking around, and back to her. "Uh... Hey."
"Are yew a vamire?"
"Cindy! You know those aren't real! I'm so sorry sir, please ignore her. Come on!" A lady took her child out of the store who started whining cause she forgot her lollipop. Silver picked it up and threw it away, sighing in relief before forming a thick shield above himself, and leaving the establishment.
...
"Haah." Sonic stretched, in front of silvers door. It was pretty late. He defeated eggman once again, and hung out with tails, knuckles, cream and Amy. He was pretty tired, a long day for him it was. He couldn't wait to stick to silver and talk and slowly fall asleep next to-
"Ahem." He awkwardly cleared his throat, knocking on the door.
....
No response.
He knocked again, nothing. He knocked for a third time, calling out silvers name, but this time, the door creaked open. He looked in, it was dark and empty. And pretty cold. This looked exactly from a scene of a horror movie, but sonic isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the shed. He walked inside, rubbing his arms for warmth.
"Jeez silvs, ya gotta invest in a heater sometime." Though he was talking for himself, since silver had thicker fur, this probably felt like normal weather to him. He turned on the light, and no one was spotted inside of the house. "Ah- Heelllloooo, anybody hoome?" Sonic blinked, nothing. Not even a peep.
"Ya know, we missed you silver.. The whole gang did. They didn't even know you were here again! Tails fixed your watch... Thingy."
Once again, wind blew in response to Sonic's words. "Silv?..." He was in the kitchen now, he peeped silvers fruit basket, there naturally being no apples in it, silver probably ate them all. Sonic took a banana and peeled it, biting down. "Sillvferrr!"
Once he finished chewing, he threw the peel away. Once he did this, he took a glimpse into the trash and saw many apple cores. But not the regular, eaten ones you'd usually find. These ones still had their skin on them, and they looked dried out. 'Silver sure does have a interesting way of eating apples.' He thought and tapped his foot, his hands on his hips. "Hmph." He ran through the entire house in under a second, checking every nook and cranny, circling the home. He walked down the stairs jumping and skipping a few.
"Okay, he's clearly not here."
*Creeaaaaak.*
Sonic whipped his head to the noise. The door of the back door to the house was slightly open, it moving due to the wind. "Maybe he's out right now?" Sonic walked out, rubbing the bottom of his nose with his index finger. He didn't immediately speed off, it was dark, and he didn't wanna run into anything, so he ran just a tad quick, squinting his eyes as the light got dimmer, and dimmer. "SILVER!" He called out. He ran quicker, getting worried now.
"Silv- W-WOAH!!"
Just then, he tripped on a dried apple core and fell face flat. Or so he thought. He opened his eyes and he was centimeters away from hitting the ground. He.. Didn't get hurt? He was floating. He recognized this shade of cyan immediately. Shocked, he looked around for the perpetrator and noticed a shadow in the trees, as soon as he did, he the glow vanished, and he softly fell on the dirt. He stood up and brushed himself off. "S-silver? Eugh." and once he looked in that same tree again, of course, it was gone. "Silver.." He looked down on what he tripped on, and it was the same thing he saw back at the house. This time, he had a better look at it. It wasn't normal. Clearly. It looked rotted, but it wasn't. When he picked it up, it was as hard as a rock. Just as he thought. As if all the juices have been sucked out of it. He blinked in confusion.
What is going on..? Okay, he needed some answers, and he needed them now. He ran in the direction the shadow hid, determined.
The small flying creature above noticed the blue flash speed off and it sighed, flying off.
Sonic explored the forests every nook and cranny in this area until he was met with a cave. This is where bats commonly are. He thought about everything thats happened in the past few weeks and gulped. He had to be right about this. He just had to. He trusted his gut and walked into the cave. Doing so, he noticed that this cave was much more.. Cozier.. Than caves usually are. It had little to no debris on the floor, blankets and lanterens inside, a whole fort. Of course, a barrel of apples. Silver definitely was here at some point. He could tell by the many other silver related things in here. The dried apple cores on the floor scattered. Books that piled, leaves, flowers and moss grew around the walls as this place had obviously been here for long. A tea set resided on a table with two chairs.
Sonic looked all around this place, which could've very been mistaken for something Amy would make.
"So...How do you like the place?"
Startled, sonic jumped and got into fighting stance, afraid he wasn't supposed to see this he tensed up quickly when he saw who was speaking. It was... Silver???
His quills were longer, so were his nails, sharper inside the durable latex glove that didn't seem to rip. His ears looked bigger, his skin was the same, and a different eye color. Nothing of his attire changed apart from the fact he now had a cape.
"Si-! Silver! Y-you.. Are you a vampire..?"
"...Yeah." He looked away. "But not the type of one you assume! Instead of thirsting for blood, I uh. Thirst for apples." He didn't like explaining this. Sonic stood. He blinked, shaking his head.
"Dude, thats so fucking COOL!" He blurted out, startling the mythical being.
"Yeah I- wait,, cool??" Silvers eyes widened, looking shocked he sat up from the wall he was leaning on. "Yeah man!" Sonic sped to up to his face.
"Woah. Youve got cool red eyes. Is that natural? Your quills!" He took one of silvers hands. "Theyre so much sharper..And this cool ass cape?"
How was silver not supposed to blush when sonic was drowning him in compliments? "Sh-shadow has red eyes too. Are they really that special?"
"Hm." Sonic looked into his red rubys, and grinned. "I guess they just suit you really well." Hand still in hand, when silver talked sonic noticed another thing. "Wait, do you have fangs?"
"Uh.. Yeah."
"Aw, show show show!"
"You have fangs too..! Your making a real big deal out of this." Silver opened and his teeth were much sharper than the average hedgehog. His fangs had a glint on them.
"But yours are WAYY sharper, and WAYY bigger! This is so, cool, cool cool cool cool cool! So cool! See, mine are small." After what had felt like hours, sonic finally let go and widened his mouth, opening it and showing off his teeth.
"der rerry sall! Mm, but still visible!" (Theyre really small) He closed his mouth, licking his lips slightly to get ready to yap again.
"ANDD, This IS a big deal! I can't believe you've been hiding this from me! How many people know?"
"Well, um. Of course rouge knows.. Blaze knows and Shadow."
Sonic looked offended. "Tsk. You told shadow but you were never gonna tell me?"
"N-no! I swear I was gonna, I just didn't know how! And I didn't even tell shadow, he just found me! Like you-" Silvers panicked posture made sonic laugh, he really thought their friendship was endangered.
"Hahaha–, I'm kidding slivs. Always so fun to tease."
"Sonic!! Now's not the time!"
"You sure about thaaat?"
"I'll bite you right here and right now."
...
Bite?
"So you'll turn me into a vampire? Okay, bite me." Sonic pointed to his neck with his thumb.
"Wh– No! Do you realize how stupid you sound?!"
"Hey, your the one that proposed it. Whats the big deal?" He shrugged. "I-.. Thats not how it works." Silver rubbed the back of his neck while looking down. "You can't turn with just a bite. You need to be born as one, which would explain why my species is endangered.. And stuff. And the fact that theres still vampire hunters today, people really don't like us."
"I like you bud."
"Ah...*Ahem.* Truth is, you can't be a vampire, and never will. I don't think thatd be such a good idea anyway." Silver clasped his hands together & closed his eyes, nodding.
"Hmmm, okaay... Do you need like blood and stuff? I know about the apples but still." Sonic walked away and sat on the comfy floor.
"Well, in a way, yes. I could get blood. But I prefer not to."
"What about rouge?"
"Yeah, uhm. Small animals. Thats it."
"Shes one too?! And I'll bet shadow knows aswell." Silver chuckled. "Why is that so surprising?"
"I- hm..I guess your right. But..does that mean you two are allergic to the sun? But I see rouge tanning all the time!"
"No, no. Shes a different type of vampire than from me." Silver shook his head and waved his hand.
"Huh, okay.. Okay. Though, I still want you to bite me." Sonic looked up at silver, with the most innocent look he could, genuinely curious about something he had in mind.
"Wh- why?! You won't get or gain ANYTHING from it- you'll just lose blood!"
"It's not for me, it's for you."
"M-me..?"
"I wanna test something."
"I'm not biting you." Silver crossed his arms. "You probably still think you'll turn into a vampire, which you won't even if i did!"
"I don't think that! Buuut, you could come over here and prove it, so I could stop bothering ya." Sonic tapped his neck, silver watched. This was his free chance at blood, he'd be so much better, and he wouldn't be taking a life for it. But he was still worried. "No."
"Whyy?"
"What if.. What if I can't control myself, and suck all the blood out of you? I haven't really.. Been eating blood as you can tell, I won't know how I'll act!"
Sonic smirked. "I doubt that'll happen. But if it does, I'll just push you off and run up out of here. Trust me!" Silver thought about it for a moment, he was really skeptical, he thought about all the pestering if he didn't do this, and couldn't deal with the annoyance. It'd come up again someday anyway. But he also didnt think of the consequences if this went wrong. Only one red thing clouded his mind, and it was blood. Which he hasn't had in, so, so so long.
Sonic's blood.
"Okay. But if it gets too bad, you better beat me up." Silver looked him dead in the eye, serious about this. "I will not!" Silver rolled his eyes and walked towards the stupid mobian, getting behind him. It was Sonic's turn to blush now, silver was really close, from behind. His hands on either side of his shoulders. He didn't really take into account how this looked from someone elses point of view. He shivered, feeling silvers fangs graze across his skin. Silver licked the spot a bit, dampening blue fur. He was taking in this moment, chershing it. Sonic shivered a little, not knowing when the unexpected piercing was coming, he couldn't handle the pressure, silver was just grooming him right now. He kissed the spot and continued pecking it with little kisses. Sonic feeling his soft pale lips against his skin had his blush come, and he sighed hardly.
"Silver.."
"Sorry!" He then finally sucked in. Silver bit down, and pierced through Sonic's skin. Sonic jumped a little, the intense feeling making him feel many different things at once. Silver drunk more than was needed, as soon as that delicious, metal taste of red fluid came into contact with his tongue, he felt like he couldnt stop, sonic just tasted.. SO GOOD. It was definitely better than any other blood hes had before, by a landslide. He licked the spot as he drank, not letting a single drop spill or go to waste. Silvers grip got tighter, and sonic felt a bit woozy.
"Si- silver." He tapped on the vampire-hog. He got off immediately, licking his lips, and sonic fell back onto him. "Sonic-!"
"Do worry.. 'M fine." Sonic laid in his head on silvers lap and looked up. He looked, wayy way less pale, a normal skin tone. "Ha.. Knew it."
"What? Knew what, that you wouldn't turn?"
He said, wiping his mouth.
"Mno, I knew that you definitely needed blood! Look! Your way less pale than usual, you look like a normal mobian, ignoring everything that'd make you not."
"Huh.. I... Guess your right. It'll be nice looking like this for some days till it runs out." Silver touched his face, he smiled a bit. "For some days.. You needa look like this forever!" Sonic blinked slowly.
"Haha, The apples are fine for me. And where else would I get blood?"
"Me." He talked without thinking. "You'd surely die." Silver pet Sonic's head, he leaned into the soft touch. "I'll get you animals!"
"Do I have to..?" Silver sighed out, taking a finger to Sonic's bite collecting blood that dropped and licked. "Yes. It's apart of a healthy and nutritious.. Uh, vampire diet."
Silver chuckled.
Sonic's slightly smirked himself before his eyes landed on a hanging item, a hat. "Whas that?" With his slurred words, he pointed to the small tophat, with a red stripe on it.
"Huh? Oh, my hat. Thats just for show, like my cape."
"Put it on!" Sonic sat up. Silver slowly stood without much press, and floated the small accessory onto his head, he then flattened out his matching cape.
"How do I look?"
"Like a vampire."
"Really?"
"An adorable one."
"Sonic.." Silver took his cape to his face to hide. Sonic chuckled. "Heeyy don't hide!" He leaned forwards without thinking once again, silver removed the cape, catching sonic as he fell into his arms.
"Well. Looky here." Silver grinned, his sharp fangs flashing, sonic blushed, he wanted to get bitten by them again, but he put that thought away and nuzzled into silvers much fluffy chest fur.
"S-...Sonic? Hello-"
"M'tired.. Can we.. Lay."
"..Okay."
Silver still holding the almost passing out hedgehog, laid on some big pillows hovering a weighted, red and white checkered blanket over them. Silvers warmth, and the cold air of the cave, were just amazingly perfect together. Sonic smiled, shifting and getting more comfortable in his warm place. Silver had seen Sonic's usually tan colorful skin had gone down a bit in saturation, and he felt bad as he felt he took too much. But to him, sonic tasted divine, he wanted to taste him again, he controlled his urges. Sonic trusted him, and he wasn't gonna break that. He caressed the blue hedges quills as he quietly snored on him, silver snickering as to how fast he fell asleep. He brushed his fur back, repeating this process till he felt sleepy himself, slowly, following after, his blue blur.
